Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English Muffins, split
  • 4 tablespoons Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers)
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (optional, for crispier edges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the split English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.
  3. If using olive oil, lightly brush the edges of the muffins.
  4. Spread 2 tablespoons of sauce evenly over the cut side of each muffin half.
  5. Top each half generously with mozzarella cheese.
  6. Add your desired toppings over the cheese.
  7. For Oven/Toaster Oven: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
  8. For Air Fryer: Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, checking frequently, until the cheese is melted and the muffin is toasted.
  9. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier base, lightly toast the muffin halves for 2 minutes before adding sauce and toppings.
  • You can use pesto or barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce for different flavors.
  • These freeze well: assemble completely, wrap individually, and freeze. Bake from frozen at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes.
